title: Thickness vibration of piezoelectric plates of 6mm crystals with tilted six-fold axis and two-layered thick electrodes.
abstract: We perform a theoretical analysis of thickness vibrations in piezoelectric plates of crystals with 6mm symmetry. The six-fold axis is tilted with respect to the plate surfaces. The major surfaces of the plate are covered with two layers of electrodes of different metals. The equations of linear piezoelectricity are used for the crystal plate. The electrodes are modeled by the equations of elasticity. Thickness vibrations frequencies and modes as well as impedance are calculated and examined.
